Maybe we can go back to a time without false cause fallacies. Imagine a road is going in right by your house...and the city decides YOUR house needs to go. Wouldn't you want to know that this is really the best place vs them getting your house so they don't mess up their property or values?

But to play your game...This was sometimes intentionally done to black communities out of a "better there than the white ones" idea.

LG has a long history of being extremely critical of anything and everything Trump is even considering.

While at the same being the first one to tell us we need to pump our brakes and let’s see how the situation develops, when Trump is not involved.

So my post was aimed at him. Not everyone.

Trump Suspends Dozens Of Top Officials For Blocking His Freeze On Foreign Aid​


President Donald Trump has suspended dozens of government officials for trying to circumvent his executive order on freezing all foreign aid.

Dozens of career government officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development were placed on leave on Monday. One agency staffer told the Wall Street Journal that 57 people were affected.

'We have identified several actions within USAID that appear to be designed to circumvent the President's Executive orders and the mandate from the American people,' said the newly installed acting administrator, Jason Gray, in an email obtained by The Washington Post.


Trump, on January 24th, declared the State Department and the U.S. AID 'shall not provide foreign assistance' until a high-level review of the programs is completed, except to Israel and Egypt and in severe cases where emergency food assistance is needed.

The 90-day pause is to ensure all programs conform with Trump's 'America First' policy and the administration threatened 'disciplinary action' for any staff ignoring the orders.

It was part of a sweeping order from the White House budget office to halt taxpayer money from being doled out for initiatives in education and health care, housing assistance, disaster relief and a host of other areas.

Great move. No one is even watching nor do people trust CNN. Why do they get so much access! Open it up for people that aren’t just there to cry about the mean orange man.

I mean, looks like almost 700k do during prime time, but anyway, I imagine it's that they're professional organizations vs like...Nick Fuentes or Tim Pool or any other guy who got $1000 of equipment and started yelling on Youtube.

I'd like any source on this to see if this is really just for condoms vs it being a line item in a larger 50M package.
Gonna venture a guess they won't provide us that.

Perhaps the exact observation you're making is why such things might benefit from better review about what is included in such multi-million dollar packages?

They are advocates for leftist ideology. And an arm of the Democrat party. Nothing more.

I’m not saying to pull all their press passes. Let them spew their garbage. But many people have turned away from cable news. So it’s time to open up some of those seats to someone else.

Left leaning talk radio has done their best pearl clutching and going so far as to say that Putin is behind this and has influenced Trump with this decision as it will cripple our government.

I can assure you, from experience, even totally defunding federal grants will not cripple anything.

I'm sure loyalty over competence will be great for America. I'm sure Trump surrounding himself with yes men (again) is going to produce the best results.

Sounds like the DEI purity tests applicants at universities across this country were subjected to.

The blanket freeze on all federal grant and loan money seems a bit poorly thought through. Cruel. Impulsive.

Yeah, I heard from my wife yesterday, that our daughter who works for an NGO in DC, may lose her job soon. Maybe she will finally see the advantage in coming to work in the family business… more money, job security, etc etc

you aren't helping yourself here.

you say he has a false cause, but then go on and show an example of what he is talking about.

there is a higher correlation of it being done intentionally to poor neighborhoods vs middle class or upper class; than there is between black vs white neighborhoods. that part just never gets looked at.
